About this listen

Wombat and his inseparable friends - the motherly and practical Mouse and Tabby Cat, whose pride, along with his tabby coat, is always being ruffled - were first introduced to children on ABC Radio in the 1950s and became instantly popular.

When illustrator Noela Young brought the characters to life on paper, the books were born, and many of today's parents will have fond memories of these irresistible characters. Perfect for a new generation to discover, this audiobook will become a treasured possession in every child's library.

Stories include: "Introducing Wombat", "Tabby and Mouse", "A Fishy Tale", "Wombat and the Brumberella", "The Famous Wombat Pudding", "Of Bicycles and Toffee", "The Chocolate Cake", "Mouse’s Easter Bonnet", "Buried Treasure", and "Tabby Wins a Prize".

Classic

I listened to this exact version on cassette as a kid. I love the narration, the different character voices of these amusing collection of stories! My youngest loves it and wants to listen to the wombat stories every night.
